    right, except sometimes it’s easier to impose conditions on certain countries than others. for example the US was able to get the previous Indian administration to sign a treaty ceding partial control of their arsenal to them, on threat of sanctions (if I recall correctly). as much as the US might want to do something like that with China, it wouldn’t be anywhere near as easy to pull off.

    this is just an example, I’m not attaching moral value to what occurred/occurs
